If you need proof of former-president Clinton's fundamental impact on the Democratic party, look no farther than the emerging list of hopefuls vying to take on President Bush in 2004.

Some of the presumed heavyweights are already putting organizational foundations in place. On that list are Sens. Joe Lieberman, John Kerry, and John Edwards.

There's also the obvious possibility that Al Gore will run again, and leading congressional Democrats Tom Daschle and Dick Gephardt may run.

Added to that list are a few intriguing folks who lack national recognition, but are reported to be "interested" or "mulling a run" in the latest AP story.

Among those are Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, and Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes. MORE

More smoke and mirrors "New DemocRAT" BS from the same old Liberals.

"If you need proof of former-president Clinton's fundamental impact on the Democratic party, look no farther than"....the loss of the House, many state legislatures, governerships, and even the loss of WV and AR in the last POTUS election.
Clinton damaged the Demwit party for decades.

Most of those "centrists" would only drive an increasing number of "progressives" to the Green Party ticket.

We could be witnessing a VERY big circular firing squad on the left-of-center side of the political spectrum.
